Create or modify an Exchange peering using the Azure portal

  • Grein

In this article, you learn how to create a Microsoft Exchange peering using the Azure portal. This article also shows you how to check the status of the resource, update it, or delete and deprovision it.

If you prefer, you can complete this guide by using PowerShell.

Prerequisites

Sign in to Azure

Sign in to the Azure portal.

Create an Exchange peering

As an Internet Exchange Provider, you can create an exchange peering request using the Azure portal:

  1. In the search box at the top of the portal, enter peering. Select Peerings from the search results.

  2. On the Peerings page, select + Create.

  3. On the Basics tab of Create a Peering page, enter, or select the following values:

    Setting Value
    Project Details
    Subscription Select your Azure subscription.
    Resource Group Select a resource group or create a new one.
    Instance details
    Name Enter a name for the peering you're creating.
    Peer ASN Select your ASN.

Important

You can only choose an ASN with ValidationState as Approved before you submit a peering request. If you just submitted your PeerAsn request, wait for 12 hours or so for ASN association to be approved. If the ASN you select is pending validation, you'll see an error message. If you don't see the ASN you need to choose, check that you selected the correct subscription. If so, check if you have already created PeerAsn by using Associate Peer ASN to Azure subscription.

  1. Select Next: Configuration to continue.

  2. On the Configuration tab, enter or select the following values:

    Setting Value
    Peering type Select Exchange.
    SKU Select Basic Free.
    Metro Select the metro location where you want to set up peering.

    Note

    • If you already have peering connections with Microsoft in the selected metro location and you're using the portal for the first time to set up peering in that location, your existing peering connections will be listed in the Peering connections section as shown. Microsoft will automatically convert these peering connections to an Azure resource so that you can manage them all along with the new connections in one place. For more information, see Convert a legacy Exchange peering to an Azure resource by using the portal.
    • If you want to modify a peering connection setting, select the edit button to go to the Exchange Peering Connection page.
    • If you want to delete a peering connection, select the ellipsis button ... and then select Delete.

  3. Select Review + create.

  4. Review the settings, and then select Create.

Verify an Exchange peering

  1. Go to the Peering resource you created in the previous section.

  2. Under Settings, select Connections to see a summary of peering connections between your ASN and Microsoft.

    • Connection State corresponds to the state of the peering connection setup. The states displayed in this field follow the state diagram shown in the Exchange peering walkthrough.
    • IPv4 Session State and IPv6 Session State correspond to the IPv4 and IPv6 BGP session states, respectively.

Modify an Exchange peering

  1. Go to the Peering resource that you want to modify.

  3. Select the ellipsis button ..., and then select Edit connection to modify the settings of a connection.
